Gold winter nails

I went to a wedding reception (for the same girl whose henna night I went to before) and did some gold nails for the occasion. Not much to say about these, just gold, stamp, tips, flower stamp.

What I used:

• The usual base and top coat
• Gold: Savvy Nail Lacquer in Golden Honey 627088
• Dots: Konad stamp plate m79 with Sally Girl "Poser 812051" (note to self-- I need a thicker black nail polish for my konad stamping)
• Tips: Nicole by OPI in "Razzle Dazzler" -- I used this instead of the Sally Girl black because I like the brush better for painting on tips.
• Sprinkles: Sally Girl 812070 (I love this stuff. I need to get some in silver)
• Flowers: Konad plate m4 with Konad white nail polish

Pink henna night

Last Saturday, on November 27th I went to a henna night for my friend who's having her wedding reception on December 11th. Her husband's family (she and her husband were officially married last year when I was out of state for school) is Afghani the henna night is a traditional celebration with lots of dancing and money and gifts and photographs. It was pretty amazing and I had never seen anything like that before.

The theme was "pink" so I wore a pink dress and did my nails for the occasion. Enjoy!

What I used:

• Top and base coat: the usual (click here)
• Pink: Sally Hansen Insta-Dry Fast Cry Nail Color in #16 Blush Rush -- 2 coats
• Flowers: 
• Sephora by OPI Nail colour in "What a Broad" 
• Konad plate m64
• Glitter: Sally Girl #812005

Lacey Bees and Strawberries

My sister and I were walking through San Francisco on the weekend of her marathon and found this little Japanese cosmetic place that sold makeup, hair stuff, and cutie nail stuff. I bought a sheet of strawberry/flowery/bees stickers. It was pricier than usual but worth the cuteness overload.

What I used:

• Base Coat: Avon Nail Experts Smooth Beginnings Base Coat -- 1 coat
• Nail Stamp: Konad m64 with Konad white nail polish
• Stickers: PA Nail collective Nail Sticker by Dear Laura, 0120-66-9243
• Top Coat: Avon Nail Experts UV Gloss Guard Top Coat -- 3-4 coats to keep the stickers on.

 What I learned:

• Avon top coat smears the Konad stamps if I do more than one swipe across my nail.
• I'm totally gonna do my nails like this on my wedding day. Especially since my sister goes "SHE'S GETTING MAAAARRIED" when I showed them to her.
